History

Over 30 years of quality, innovation and independence

Where it all began

Our company, TRACS International – Energy Consultancy and Training, was established by co-founders Frank Jahn, Mark Graham and Mark Cook in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1992 to provide Training and Consultancy services to the oil and gas sector—Frank a Geologist, Mark Graham a Petrophyscist and Mark Cook a Reservoir Engineer and Economist. Our TRACS services grew with a focus on the international market from the outset. TRACS now has a worldwide client base and experience in every major producing basin.

Due to these early-day efforts, client demand, and the focus on technical quality and collaboration and bespoke training services, TRACS has become known for its expert knowledge and integrity.
